(HBO) – Drumbeats can be heard at 19:30 every day across six residential areas in Ky Son town, Ky Son district, to remind local students of the study time. It has been a tradition in the area since 2015.

At Nguyen Duc Anh’s house in
residential area No. 3
The model
has been supported by the local Party Committee and authorities along with the study
encouragement association in Ky Son town.
The study
encouragement association has recorded drumbeats and short instructions for
broadcasting on the local loudspeaker systems in the six residential areas to
remind local residents and children of the study time.
The
association has coordinated with secretaries of party cells, heads of
residential areas, the association’s members and teachers of Ky Son town
elementary and secondary schools to set up a group in charge of promoting the
fondness of learning. The group sends members to families with children of school
ages to talk with parents about the importance of learning and encourage children
to study.
The
association has also formed teams with members from the women’s association and
youth union to check on the children’s study at home.
Thanks to
the movement, since 2015, Ky Son town has taken the lead in study encouragement
activities, as well as the number of school-age children going to schools. With
synchronous and effective solutions, the movement has contributed to improving
the sense of responsibility among family members and local residents towards
education of their children.
The
locality also saw fewer young people hanging out in crowds on the streets or in
public places, and lower number of juvenile delinquents.
Over the
past three school-years, the Ky Son study encouragement association has worked
as an advisor of the town People’s Committee to present certificates of merits and rewards to six chapters of the
association, 48 teachers, 36 families and 126 outstanding students at all
educational levels./.
